The way to the abdominal cavity
28 March 2010
Once the connection (anastomosis) is complete, a blue contrast material is introduced via the uterine cervix, traveling through the uterus and tubes, all the way to the abdominal cavity. This is to make sure the tubes have been joined the right way and that the joining is working properly.All surgical instruments are taken out, the gas is drawn out from the abdominal cavity, and the patient is woken up and taken to the recovery room to be watched and takrn care of by the nurses, tubal reversal as well as by the anaesthetist who makes sure the person is comfortable and free from pain. Generally, 2 to four hours later most patients are discharged.
